Lady Lions roll to win over Central Penn

Article Tools

Penn State Hazleton Women's basketball team used a stingy defense to clip visiting Central Penn Monday evening, 66-47 in a non-conference contest. It was the third straight win after opening the season with a loss improving to 3-1 all non-conference games.

The Lady Lions allowed the visitors all of 15 first-half points en route to a 31-15 halftime lead, before settling the issue with a 35-32 run in the second 20 minutes.

Alexis Daly had scoring honors in leading the Lions with 20 points, while teammate Taylor Cannon tossed in 12. Christine Soltys added eight as well.

Jasmine Robinson led Central Penn with 23 points, tops on the evening, and Desiree Lawerenco was next with 15 points.

Penn State Hazleton picked off 35 rebounds, Cannon and Soltys both had five. Lawerenco had 11 rebounds for Central Penn.

Penn State Hazleton will open the PSUAC schedule when it returns to action Wednesday at Penn College before meeting Marywood Thursday at home in a non-conference contest.
